    To run more than one frame buffer, you must modify your /etc/dt/config/Xservers file. The Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator device is identified as gfbx (for example, gfb0 and gfb1 for two Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator devices). To do this: 1. Become superuser and open the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file.

  • Page 48: Setting Up Option 3

    Setting Up Option 3 This option enables two monitor support without the use of Xinerama software. This means that the Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator creates one wide frame buffer, displayed across two screens. Example The following example sets up this option.

  • Page 49: Setting Up Option 4

    Setting Up Option 4 This option allows independent resolution setting of each stream. Note – Stream option 4 is not supported in Xinerama. X windows and Sun OpenGL for Solaris performance may be noticeably degraded in this mode. Many resources (for example, Color LUTs and WID entries) are managed independently and the two streams compete with each other.

    16 samples per pixel. This method yields improved images, but at the price of increased render time. The Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator has 72 Mbytes of memory for the frame buffer so that the image can be multisampled at up to 16 samples per pixel in a single pass, depending on the resolution.
